John Duff’s High Heels is the first single from his highly anticipated debut EP, Homo•Sapien. The song is a musical jamboree, featuring lush orchestrations and breathtaking vocals by Tony Award-winning Broadway icon Lillias White; yet its message is a deep one. It’s about the power found in the ability to receive love. “This is my most intricate and ambitious piece yet,” Duff explains. “This is real music; played by real musicians. I’ve learned so much about myself from working with so many pros. The main thing being: I’m a real musician”. High Heels is available on Apple Music, Spotify, and all digital platforms. Proceeds from the Homo•Sapien EP will benefit The Future Perfect Project– which provides free, grant-funded arts workshops to LGBTQIA+ youth in the United States. (All pics by Max Bronner)

John Duff:

“Homo•Sapien is a collection of songs that I wrote without consideration of rules. Because what are rules but a collectively imagined idea that we humans agree upon? This EP is everything I was told I shouldn’t do. It’s gay. It’s sexy. It’s honest. It’s a part of me.”
